The first work I discovered of Carmen Lozar's was her mixed media Mermaid boxes. I just love seeing the little glass mermaids pop out of the beautiful old tins! They are wonderfully playful and speak of summer fun!!! In searching for her websight I discovered many more wonderful mixed media pieces, combining cast and flameworked glass with various other medias to fashion narratives, which are often reflective of her life. Eloquent and thought-provoking tableaus of her own history and also evocative of the human experience. She infuses each piece with the precious, the forgotten, and the unrealized... DELIGHTFUL!!!
